Netflix and kill…

From iconic documentaries such as Making a
Murderer to modern-day dramas like You, there’s no shortage of the macabre once
you sign in to Netflix – and let’s face it, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Like any office, each day seems to begin
with a recap of last night’s viewing. And boy, there sure have been some corkers
of late.

For those who haven’t yet seen Abducted in
Plain Sight, shame on you, and for those who have – WTH?! All I can say is Mary
Ann and Bob Broberg sure have some explaining to do.

Honestly, we all thought Andy King from
Fyre Festival was willing to go to extremes for his job – and Evian – but Jan’s
dad Bob went that extra mile to offer “B” (Robert Berchtold) a helping hand.

So, what does this have to do with PR?
Well, it’s all about creating content that’s engaging to your audience,
captures their imagination and generates talkability. Netflix perfectly demonstrates
how consumers i.e. your customers, are ultimately the best advocates for your
brand.

According to Social Media Today, 90% of
consumers trust peer recommendations, whereas only 33% trust traditional ads.
Plus, 60% of people consult blogs, vlogs or social media posts on products
before considering a purchase.

Therefore, it’s no surprise that Netflix
has started to infiltrate social media, with the most recent Instagram update now giving users the
option to share Netflix on Instagram stories.

Plus, any
of your Instagram friends with the Netflix app will see a “Watch on Netflix”
tag on the story, allowing them to stream your favourite show in just one click
– genius, right?

Here’s a
list of our favourite binge-worthy shows of the moment:

Abducted in Plain Sight

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

Dark

Dark Tourist

The Haunting of Hill House

The Keepers

Making a Murderer
